Give students a blank hundred chart have them fill the chart in starting at 25 and ending at 98.
Give students a blank hundred chart with the number 75 filled in. Ask students to work backwards from 75, completing the chart until they reach 29.
Give students a completed 120 hundreds chart that is cut up into eight sections. Have them put it back together and justify the puzzle placements.
Give students a 120 hundreds chart with only 20 random numbers filled in. Can you complete the chart using what you know about one more/less and ten more/less?
Use 8 base ten blocks to make a number. Can you make a different number with a different set of 8 blocks?
Draw a number line with the endpoints of 0 and 120. Place a dot on the number line. What number on the number line does the dot represent? How do you know?
About the Math
Counting is a fundamental skill of mathematics. Students should be provided lots of opportunities throughout the day to practice counting. Objects of all kinds should be counted. To develop concepts of number, have students estimate how many of something before counting. For example, before getting crayons have students estimate how many crayons are in the box. After estimating, partners should count to find a total. When students are first estimating, ask them if the amount is more than ten or less than ten, or more than 20 less than 20, etc. This helps them begin to get a sense of quantity. Essential vocabulary for this standard includes Place Value and Digit(online dictionary, HCPSS Vocabulary Cards).
The Illustrative Mathematics Project tasks below demonstrate expectation of this standard.
Rich Tasks for Multiple Means of Engagement, Expression, and Representation (UDL)
1. Show clear jars with different amount of objects (i.e. a jar of linking cubes, jelly beans, paper clips, etc). Have students identify which jars they think have the most objects. Have students share their reasoning. Have groups/partners count the objects in each jar, write the number, and write the amount on a sticky note that can be placed on a number line. Have the class share their findings.
2. An estimation jar can be part of a weekly routine. Use a quart jar and place objects in the jar. Ask students to estimate the number of objects. Once estimates have been given, count the number of objects. Record the number on a chart. This chart should be displayed. The next week put different objects in the jar that are larger or smaller than the first set of objects. The number of objects from the weeks before, can help students estimate the new number of objects. For instance, if there are 35 unifix cubes the first week and the following week there are centimeter cubes which are smaller. Elicit from the students there are more centimeter cubes because they are smaller than the unifix cubes.
Important Tools/Models
Hundreds charts and number lines are important tools for understanding counting principles as well as concepts of number. Students should be exposed to and use both tools frequently.
A large hundreds chart should be displayed in the room for all students to see. Students should be encouraged to refer to the chart.
Groupable models: Beans and a small cup for 10 beans, Linking cubes, Plastic chain links
Pregrouped materials: Strips (ten connected squares) and squares Base-ten blocks, Beans and beans sticks (10 beans glued on a craft stick), Ten-frame
